This document discusses Lynda Costa's work creating the EnAble program at PepsiCo to promote inclusion for people with disabilities and their caregivers. The program connects employees who have disabilities or care for someone with a disability. It provides support services, volunteer opportunities, and fosters relationships between employees and community organizations. Employees provide positive feedback about how the program has improved their work experience and personal lives. The EnAble program has been successfully expanded across PepsiCo and positively impacted both employees and the community.

We wanted to thank you and PepsiCo for all that you are doing
on behalf of the deaf and hard of hearing community. Your
efforts and support made it possible for Miss Deaf America,
representing the National Association for the Deaf (NAD), to be
doing the American Sign Language (ASL) rendition of the
National Anthem and America the Beautiful at the upcoming
Super Bowl. PepsiCo's support made it possible for the NAD to
expand the selection process to find the most appropriate
signer. This is a historic first. Thank you for making it happen.
PepsiCo's assistance in this situation will help elevate
and showcase the beauty of ASL to the world, and promote the
value of diversity in our society. We are grateful that PepsiCo
has taken the lead in promoting the importance of
inclusion. Together, we can continue to refine the true meaning
of equality.
We cannot thank you enough for being our partner and
supporting the deaf and hard of hearing community of America.
Sincerely,
Howard Rosenblum, CEO, National Association for the Deaf
Alexis Kashar, Public Policy chair, National Association for the
Deaf

Huge impact for our employees as well as Cory –
some employee quotes

father I can be to my children and makes me appreciate
my family everyday; I take this special feeling home
every night”

thankful that I am part of EnAble because it really
makes a difference for me - - and so glad you asked me
to help out with Cory; it has changed my life forever”

he adds something that I cannot explain. This has been
an amazing experience for me just as I'm sure we are
helping him”
• “he is now better equipped with more emotional
support and proof that he can have a normal career
when he gets older - it can exist - especially with
technology. Our employees were amazing - nothing
short of perfect. Another demonstration of the power
of Pepsi people - it made me proud”

much time for Enable and I really miss it; I think it is the
